Starting at 9 GMT tomorrow, meet at the Cove barracks ten minutes before and we'll march to fort Vesparicia.

Sat at his desk, with one hand on his forehead. The Vesperian conflict was not going well for him. His town was still occupied by the huge force of orc's and an end to his woe's didn't seem to be in sight. His commander was off at officer's training in Britian, he scoffed and considered the possibility he had deserted him. Then, he rose slowly and looked out of the window of the barracks across the ocean, to distant lands. It was time to regroup. Time to regain his strength..

Cove had not yet begun to fight..

Regarding Ninjitsu and Bushido - ALL READ!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the introduction of new combat skills in the latest expansion, we would like to confirm some temporary rules while the effects on our RoE are investigated. Similar rules will be in effect on any future expansion that adds changes to combat.

Any existing character wishing to learn Ninjitsu and Bushido should have a justifiable IC reason for wanting to learn the skill and RP learning it, over a period of at least one month. They may if they wish learn these skills from an IG teacher - Decardo of KoV will teach Bushido; a teacher for Ninjitsu should be announced in the coming days.

For the time being, players may NOT use Ninjitsu and Bushido in combat, until we have a better understanding how unbalancing the skills are.

Players may create new characters for use in CoRE with Ninjitsu or Bushido, but should learn this skill over a time of at least one month and respect the current skill limit and apply a background coherent with the new lands.

In the near future, CoRE will be running a test of the new skills to decide on a permanent set of balancing rules. If any member of CoRE is creating a new character with Bushido/Ninjitsu then please let your GM know if you are able to help with these tests.

Ninjitsu
Ninjas should be secretive about their skills. Anybody openly wearing full Ninja gear, casting mirror images or transforming into animal forms in public sight will be treated as being a Ninja, and therefore potential assassins and may be arrested.

Ninjas may not attack without warning, unless they join the CoRE Assassin system first and are filling a contract. (this system is currently being relaunched and will be much quicker and easier to use).

The use of smokebombs is allowed for the time being, but we will keep an eye out for potential abuse.

Regarding the new animal forms:
Rabbit and Rat - Useable outside of combat. These are both stealth forms.
Cat and Dog - Useable outside of combat. These are both infiltration forms.
Giant Serpent and Bullfrog - Banned due to automatic poison attack.
Ostard and Llama - Usable outside of combat, due to mounted combat rules.
Wolf and Bake-Kitsune - Useable in combat. These are the only forms a Ninja can enter combat in.
Unicorn and Kirin - Usable outside of combat, due to mounted combat rules.

[Full Name :]

Full Name : Raylee Ramirez

Known as : Ray

Gender : Female

Age : 17

Work Description : Hunter / Tailor


Appearance : Raylee is quite a small, only reaching a height of around 5'2", her slim, curved body is complimented buy her firm bust but many seem quite disgusted with her face. Across her left eye she has quite a large scar from a hunting accident with her Father. The wound left her blinded in her left eye, also causing her to lose it's colour, nearly leaving it pure white. She doesn't seem to bothered with her appearance, he hair is greasy and matted and her skin usually covered in patches of dirt, but although like this, she always likes to keep her armour and weapons clean and in good shape.


Personality : She is quite harsh and cold to most, not liking to show her feelings. It is rare to ever see a smile touch her lips, she enjoys to be alone and prefers to get through her day without talking. She is content with getting on with her life without the distraction of others.


Background : As a young girl Raylee lived out in the deep forests of Yew with her Father, never knowing what exactly happened to her Mother but it never really bothered her. Her Father would hunt the animals of the forest, skin them of their hides and then make a journey to town to sell his wares. Raylee grew up in solitude and never really met anyone, and was happy to carry on in fer Fathers footsteps.
As she grew older she began to follow her Father on his hunts, day by day, learning his trade. Though on one ill fated day on their hunt they were attacked by a pack of wolves, a wolf pounced at her, one of its claws digging into her face ripping through her skin and left eye. Covering her face, screaming and crying in pain Raylee ran.. and kept running, she finally curled up into a ball, shivvering in the cold of the forest, wandering what had happened to her Father.
Since that day, Raylee watched the door every night, waiting for her Father to walk through, though in her mind she knew he never would. In the end she decided she could no longer stay here, she had no family and only knew Yew, so she packed up what little she had and began her journey to see the world she had been kept away from.

[Name:]

Name: Gregor Eason
Age: Forty Eight Summers Old
Birthplace: Britain

Gregor grew up as an adopted child amidst a noble family in Britain. He was perhaps only a few years old when he was abandoned by his mother, left at the door step of a Healer's Hut. Baby Gregor was pitied by the wife of a respected Duke on a good will visit to an orphanage, and his life was changed for the better. The Eason family saw that Gregor was well educated in Literature, Philosophy, and the Virtues; and the family guard saw that he was trained in combat and arms lore.
Gregor lived a happy and free life in the Eason family, but he yearned for more. He yearned for adventure, for intrigue, for mystery... for new lands. Gregor enlisted into the Britannian Army on an officer's commission and served for several years, reaching the rank of Captain of a respectable infantry company.
During his service, Captain Gregor Eason took an active role in the defence of Trinsic when it was attacked by Undead forces, and was amongst the first to travel to the Lost Lands and provide reconnaissance for Britannian forces.
Although he served a distinguished career in the Army, Gregor still bears the scars of a military life. As the enthusiastic young always rush off to battle, he has realised pain and suffering through a life of fighting, not to mention his foul drinking habits...
Gregor sought a quieter life, and thus his story leads to Cove. A small, peaceful settlement far from the cold and merciless battlefield, or so he thought... Upon arrival he discovered that Cove lay occupied by an Orc horde, and that a mighty conflict had only just begun for the town of Compassion. Gregor could have walked away... he was a retired soldier. However, it seems a warrior can never resist the call to arms.

Gregor is now a Commander in the Cove Militia, and operates in both the Covian and Vesperian area. His political views are null. He cares little for the Britannian government that armed and trained him. He cares only for peace...

Former Commander Gregor Eason coordinating the Army of the North against a Yewish assault.

Personality:
Shadwel is a dedicated avatarian and his duties come first, it's his life. When off duty he tends to hang in pubs and join in the occasional brawl. He has no love for war but he will not turn his back on a good fight. Shadwell believes in the system of discipline and honour, he will openly dislike mages and have respect for his brothers in arms.

Background:
Shadwell was born in Cove. His father was an average blacksmith with a slight drinking problem this quickly became a big drinking problem after Shadwell's mother died when he was 12. Growing up with the extra care of three smaller brothers Shadwell had to find a way to get extra gold. He became a thug for a small band in the forests arround Vesper. Here he learned his skill with the bow and kryss. Cove was a place of chaos and bussines was good for Shad.
When the band broke into a small farm close to Cove, the leader ordered the death of a peasant who refused to tell where he had hidden his gold. Shad killed the leader instead and went back home. Helping his father through the last days of his life Shadwell noticed that things were changing, a baron began to establish himself in Cove and law returned.
Just before the Orcs invaded Cove a man clad in black and brown entered his house, he introduced himself as Thom and he served the Baron. He knew about Shadwell's criminal past and gave him a chance to get his life back on tracks.

Join the Covian guard he said.

And so he did.
